Its as if they are all expecting a loss and have their City have lost their title piece written already.

They’re hoping, which is pretty sad when you think about the state of British journalism.

The saddest thing is: they wrote all those pieces last season and still haven’t learnt their lesson. Even sadder: they’ll write them again at the same time next season.

This is how the media are going to tarnish his reputation and time here by the way. by forcing him and the fans to "fight" It's a shame both side gave them enough ammunition to get on with.

I fucking hate the media. The single most poisonous and corrosive organisations there are. We can't let them win any longer

And now the Guardian are weighing in with more Pep bashing. I do hope we get a result tomorrow

He has brought some on himself, and just maybe it's what he wanted, the Glaswegian at the trafford red socks was a master of creating a siege mentality.

Three huge games in the coming days , Pep can use all this negativity to motivate his players even more.

I'm not sure shitting on the entire nation of Australia is an appropriate response to one Australian media outlet pushing forward a clichéd viewpoint that we don't agree with.

Given the way the police are behaving over there these days that should be the main focus of any human rights campaing.

Depends I suppose on your view

Kangaroo shagging cunts ;-)


See it is easy to generalise and be a dick about a country much like he does about us and the UAE.

Every football fan believes their club gets a bad deal from the media, in the case of MCFC it really is true.

I used to think that the siege atmosphere worked in our favour because it cohered City fans together but may be this is not so. We've won the title 3 times in 4 seasons, we have the best coach in the game, the most exciting player in the game in Phil Foden and yet there is a whole lot of negativity. If you've got someone pouring poison in your ear incessantly day in day out some creeps in.

It doesn't bother me that Liverpool's fanbase is activated against us or that rival fanbases are jealous but it does start to bother me when City's fanbase starts to get detached from the club. I am not sure we are. The 38k CL attendance was bogus imo. I have been going to games for a very long time and that one felt very wrong. The home ends looked almost full. Journalists like Barney Ronay must know this. He'll have watched the highlights on TV, and they show the ground to have been full, or very close to it, but they still run the story because it suits their narrative.

What is impossible to gauge is the mood of City fans. Ultimately it's through the crowds, and they seem stable to me. The other thing you have is the internet and message boards like this, but 50% of the comments are Man Utd subterfuge and it gets much worse when they are doing well.

Keep up the boycott of the Guardian, and if you are still commenting, please stop. If you must interact with them, report and trolling, or defamation, but do it conservatively. Imagine if City fans did that on Bluemoon, the whole place would grind to a halt and be impossible to manage.
